Microfluidics and FPGA Verification

Tools to Make Life Better
by Amelia Dalton

This week’s Fish Fry is about tools. Not just any kind of tools – tools that can make your life better, your health stronger, and your job a little easier. First up, we check out how a team of researchers from MIT hopes to stem the tide of malaria with a new prototype device that can recognize the electrical properties of infected cells. Next, we chat with Shakeel Jeeawoody from Blue Pearl Software about how their tools can simplify the debug of your next FPGA design. 

Also this week, we look at the newest advances in smart display technology and give away a Gertboard courtesy of Newark element14.

The Brief but Spectacular History of Shockley Labs
Aug 17, 2018
If you read my post Who Put the Silicon in Silicon Valley? then you know my conclusion: Let's go with Shockley. He invented the transistor, came here, hired a bunch of young PhDs, and sent them out (by accident, not design) to create the companies, that created the compa...

Aug 14, 2018
I worked at HP in Ft. Collins, Colorado back in the 1970s. It was a heady experience. We were designing and building early, pre-PC desktop computers and we owned the market back then. The division I worked for eventually migrated to 32-bit workstations, chased from the deskto...

Configuring Your Speedcore eFPGA, Part 2: Configuration Time
Jul 30, 2018
As discussed in part 1 of this blog post, each instance of an Achronix Speedcore eFPGA in your ASIC or SoC design must be configured after the system powers up because Speedcore eFPGAs employ nonvolatile SRAM technology to store its configuration bits. The time required to pr...
